Talented bantamweights Francisco Rivera and Erik Perez are slated to go toe-to-toe in a high-action bout at UFC 201 in Atlanta.

The bout was confirmed by the UFC, via Twitter, on Tuesday afternoon.

Perez was once one of the division's brightest stars, winning his first three UFC fights by first-round finish while absorbing just 16 significant strikes during that span. He would go on to split his next four fights, suffering setbacks against the likes of Bryan Caraway and Takeya Mizugaki.
